BOOKNITURE unfolds from a book to a multifunctional furniture. I love this.
Folding Bunk Bed
A minimal folding bunk bed for tight quarters. I like.
K Desk
Now this kids desk by RAFA kids is a beauty! You see it closed in the image above but once the lid is lifted you discover another layer of the desk with rounded corners and hidden organizer. Perfect place to put notebooks, iPad or little toys and treasures. Vertical part is good exposition space for drawings, photos or important messages. I’d take a grown up version!
Origami Coffee Table
I noticed this beauty of a West Elm coffee table at my friend’s house over the weekend. Bookmarked!
Cranky Table Lamp
Some lamps are a little too tall. Others are a little too short. This is not a problem with Cranky, an adjustable-height table lamp.
See-saw Table
This see-saw table, De Tafelwip by Marleen Jansen, should make for interesting dinners. Also, it will prevent you from ever eating alone. Made me laugh.
The Floyd Utility Set
Next year we’re moving our co-working space to Boerum Hill (I’ll announce details soon) and I am considering using the The Floyd Utility Set as a table system for the lounge area. They turn any flat surface into a table. Supercool!
Indoor Stoop
Love the idea behind Thing Industries’ indoor stoop. It’s a shelf, a staircase to something higher up and a drawer unit.
NOI Worktable
Gasp! NOI Worktable by OHIO Design is the most beautiful, minimal giant desk I have ever seen. You can customize it in length and you can chose from a variety of surface materials. Me, I am all for white.
The Floyd Leg
Love the brilliantly simple system behind The Floyd Leg. Ideal for people that move often.

School Desk/Bench
I am in love with this red and white school desk over at Land of Nod. So much, I want to fill Studiomates with it!
Dot Desk
I find this Dot Desk over on the Land of Nod quite charming. Perfect for a small corner desk in a small apartment.
A Frame Picnic Table
I am head over heels in love with this modern picnic table from CB2.
Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman All Black
Herman Miller is releasing the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman in an all-black version. Oh my! What a beauty!
A Shelf-Table
It’s a Shelf. No wait, it’s a table. It’s both!
Benches by Mia Cullin
This bench with adjustable seat by Swedish architect and designer Mia Cullin made me look.
Paperback Shelf
I happened to stumble upon the Magazin store while visiting Munich this week and found this minimal Paperback Shelf. A real stunner. Would have loved to take one home. If you’re not familiar, check out Magazin. I could buy their entire site.
Kids ErgoErgo
I just discovered that ErgoErgo now sells their chairs in kids sizes. Totally ordering one for Ella (7). #somuchfun
Stand-Up Desk (IKEA Hack)
The utterly brilliant Kelli Anderson built this good looking (!) convertible stand-up IKEA hack desk with help from metalsmith-extraordinaire Dustin John and Daniel Dunnam. The minimalist convertible standing-sitting desk/storage unit is made from Ikea cabinets, a top from Lowe’s and a linear actuator.
This is the first standing desk I’ve seen that I would let enter my studio. Well done Kelli!
Chair Hoodie
I wouldn’t mind having one of these chair hoodies here at Studiomates to send a signal when I need some time to focus, a time with no interruptions. They are by Bernotat & Co.
F Bunk Bed
The F Bunk Bed by Rafa Kids is the most stylish kids bunk bed I have seen to date. Lets consider it wishlisted for Tilo’s room.
Pegboard Shelving
I am dreaming of an entire wall in my studio set up with this pegboard shelving system. Made by the Hornsby Berowra Men’s Shed, discovered over on Apartment Diet.
LoLo Bunk Bed
My friend Jennifer Ward just showed me what she and her team at Casa Kids have been working on over the last few months: The super impressive LoLo Bunk Bed.
It’s a compact bunk bed, ideal for smaller spaces or lower ceilings. What makes LoLo really cool is that the beds are detachable creating two almost identical twin beds. Once converted into twin beds, each bed can have a trundle bed or three drawers underneath. This is fantastic for families with two kids where they start out sharing a bedroom and eventually move to a bigger space and each kid wants their own bed.
Well done, Casa Kids!
